ECONOMIC PRODUCTION: The production of final goods and services taking place during a given time period. The emphasis here is on time period, especially the CURRENT time period. Gross domestic product is the macroeconomy's prime measure of current production. Current production is best contrasted with transactions for past production and future production, both of which are excluded from gross domestic product.

LABOR FORCE The total number of people in an economy, society, or country willing and able to exert mental and/or physical efforts in productive activities. The labor force is a more technical term for the labor resource or labor supply. It includes both employed workers and unemployed workers. An official variation of this term is civilian labor force. While labor force may or may not include military personnel, the civilian labor force explicitly excludes the military. Labor and labor resources are the theoretical terms that economists like to banter about. Labor force and civilian labor force are the terms of choice for government policy makers, data-crunchers, and others who need precise labor resource numbers.
